Zac Efron is ''stoked'' to be starring alongside DWAYNE 'THE ROCK' JOHNSON in the 'Baywatch' movie.

The 27-year-old hunk has been cast alongside the wrestler-turned-actor in the eagerly-awaited new movie and has revealed he can't wait to start filming.

Asked whether he's excited by working with The Rock, Zac told BANG Showbiz: ''I'm pretty stoked, yeah. I'm very, very excited.''

In the meantime, Zac has been busy promoting his new movie 'We Are Your Friends', in which he stars alongside Emily Ratajkowski as a struggling DJ in the electronic dance music scene, and has claimed he can strongly identify with his on-screen character.

Reflecting on the movie at its European premiere at the Ritzy Cinema in Brixton, London, Zac said: ''One of the best experiences of my life. This movie is really for our generation and I don't know what it is that I identify so strongly with. I don't know what that reason is.

''It's a combination of the music, the story, the sort of coming of age elements. It's really relevant to right now and what it's like to be a young person in this world, trying to find his way and make it in the workforce. He and his friends grow up and stay true to themselves. It's exciting.''
